To answer a few different questions....

I'm 5'7

I lost 13lbs on the preop diet before my surgery.

I have followed the food guidelines a lot! I listen to my body and really push the Protein. I drink about 80oz of Water per day. I go to the gym 3 times per week, do yoga 2 times per week and I walk at least a mile EVERY day!

An average day for me food wise:

Breakfast - a low carb Carnation Instant Breakfast packet mixed into 1 cup of 2% Fairlife milk.

Mid morning snack - a handful of roasted almonds

lunch - 1/2 cup of chicken fried rice (with carrots, peas and scrambled egg whites)

Afternoon snack: 1 Colby jack cheese stick

Dinner: small piece of grilled/pan seared Ahi tuna, green Beans and sautéed squash

Sometimes I have 3-5 Nilla wafers for dessert.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
